Much ado about nothing. BEYC runs a first rate shop and provides a great number of services. Many complain about crowds and lack of moorings when they want to get there. Mooring fees are one way to mitigate the pack. Yes, mooring gear will and does fail. On one charter with top tier outfit we experienced an anchor shackle failure. We got the anchor back on our own. Kids found it. When we reach the base. The only thing they asked was did you mark the spot where you left the anchor. Big Boat with Big Anchor. The feeling even below deck when the boat parted with the bottom was very distinct.

What do you pay to park a car for 24 hours at many of the popular areas so many of us visit? Anything less than $50 is inexpensive. See you on the BEYC shuttle soon... leave your garbage on the boat, they will send a scow out to get it.
